- Yeah, that's for sure. Like the MOD (Ministry of Defense) people in Holy
- Loch, Scotland we had to pass through every time we went out on the town
- from the submarine we were on. They did NOT appreciate the fact that in
- the hustle to get packed for the trip over there, the only belt buckle
- (civilian-style) that I had so thoughtfully included was a big pot leaf
- buckle. Can we say strip search every single time I went through their
- gate? Got to the point where I just marched into their shack without
- waiting for them to tell me to, big smile on my face, finger pointing at
- the "offending" article.

- Bet they still wonder just where I WAS hiding the drugs they KNEW I HAD
- to be carrying. And it did not help at all when I explained to them that
- there was no way at all I would consider doing that sort of thing there-
- they just had too severe of a penalty for things like that. Made it
- worse, if anything.
